“okay, well, fuck you, we won’t be allowing anonymous viewing or participating in open graph tags” is such a last desperate gasps of a dying website move it would be funny if it weren’t deeply, deeply sad
It really is just dragging us back to the AOL vision of the internet, but perfected and extended to the horizon.
Particularly shitty for, like, small businesses and their customers. There are tons of like weird makers and local places I would be more likely to patronize if their entire presence wasn't stuck behind a facebook-owned walled garden, and now we can't even tell them to at least have a twitter account anymore.
Yes those folks should have their own website, but a lot of folks aren't techy enough to really understand why, and being able to not have to manage a site and storefront has value for them, understandably.
